Re: Have proof MS removes restore points!!!!

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Thank you, Bert.
I read that page now. It explains well that problem.
So, should that be classified as one more bug MS have not foreseen?
There are lots of people, specially software developers like myself who use
the dual boot.
Lets hope, Microsoft will fix that better sooner than later!
Jack

P.S.
BTW, It means I was right blaming Microsoft for my procurement
Now, if I know what causes that slugginess in my Windows.......

Hi Jack,

Weather Vista is installed on another hard drive doesn't matter. It's
still installed on a partition and if XP can see the Vista partition all
restore point and shadow copies will be deleted when booting to XP. The
following page will help explain the cause.

Dual Booting Windows Vista & Windows XP:

Yes,
I have dual boot with Vista installed on another harddrive (not
partition).

Can you elaborate more on that, please?

Are you dual booting by any chance?
